While I was replacing ujoints I never dealt with hubs so stuck onto the knuckles! Don't think they've come off since the jeep was made in 2000...hammering, prying, heating nothing would budge these damn things. Finally I stole the scissor jack from wifes old car, placed it on the springs and the...

Meh for $250 its better than what I currently have Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Soo I know this is no where near a fast build lol bare with me. I'm on a tight budget and work on it when I can. I just purchased a used 4.5" lift kit this past weekend. It's a rough country leaf pack and a Rubicon Express 4.5" coils and Rubicon Express control arm drop brackets. Should help...

Well since this is a budget build it all depends on what I can afford at the time lol. Ideally I'd like a 4.5" RE Super Flex with the adjustable track bar and a hack an tap SYE. However being the main income, owning a house, vehicle payments (all the fun grown up stuff lol) I might need to just...

Indeed, I knew when I was paying that cheap for it, it was gonna fight me every bit of the way 😂 oh well. It'll be a dedicated trail rig once it's all said and done By the way my wife's JKU is a Willy's so that's become its nickname and my wife gave my XJ a nickname, Willis lol so I guess the...

Been awhile since I updated anything in here. Been busy working 18+ hrs a day for a couple months straight. Made my first big purchase for the Jeep.. Finally went and picked up my 35" Baja Claws! They were a tight fit in the wife's JKU lol. Also gonna need to get a lift and some cut off wheels...

Not quite related to my xj but over the weekend I decided to go and buy a 2015 Jeep Wrangler JKU Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Yeah i did my fair share of creeping other threads so since that issue with the lug nuts I've been soaking every bolt on it everyday with PB Blaster before I go to work. Thanks for the heads up, it's not discouraging me, like I said it's not my DF so if it doesn't go back together for a week or...

Well i learned what "its a Jeep thing" means lol it means every friggin bolt is gonna fight you to come off.. Went to work on my rear breaks, or so I thought, got 1 lug nut off, went to get the other off and I think "holy crap that's tight" busy out my air tools, nothing. But out my 3' breaker...

I should also mention, this XJ doesn't not need to serve me as a daily driver. I have a 2006 Ford Escape for that, it gets me 650-700km a tank! Lol so fitting 35s I'm looking at getting a 4.5 inch lift, doing some bump stopping and I am not afraid to trim at all! BTW thanks for suggesting...

I would absolutely LOVE to come down to Moab but it's kinda far for me. One day.. One day I'll be down there for sure! And thanks I'll look into Flickr or Tapatalk I've got more replies on here than I hsve on Cherokee Forum already hahah

Hey everyone I'm Cody, my first post on here. This is my first Jeep but I'm not new to the offroad world I've owned 3 Chevy k1500 with 3" of lift and 35s, also 3 Toyota pickups with 3" lift and 35s. However I have been outta the 4x4 game for awhile, got married, bought a house, bought wife a new...
